Multiple Site Memberships
For organizations with multiple sites, only one membership is necessary under the parent organization for total number of FTEs across all sites. For example, a Critical Access Hospital with two affiliated Rural Health Clinics would total the number of FTEs across all three sites and pay that membership rate, earning membership for all three facilities.
